BERNARD A. MOYLE PUBLIC EDUCATION AWARD

The Executive Board of Directors of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council (Council) has established the Bernard A. Moyle Public Education Award, an annual award to honour an organization that has introduced and implemented a fire and life safety program or campaign in their community.

This award will be presented annually, as a tribute to retired Fire Marshal Bernard A. Moyle, in recognition of his 16 outstanding years of service as Fire Marshal of Ontario, from 1990 to 2006. During his tenure, Bernard Moyle used his extraordinary leadership skills to implement his vision, thereby enabling the province to make great strides in fire and life safety education. His professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm have helped to shape Ontario into a world leader in public fire safety.

The award is funded by the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. Presentation of the award will be made at the annual Public Fire and Life Safety Educators’ Conference.

The winner of the award will receive:

a commemorative plaque
a credit note for $5,000 in support of the fire and life safety education program(s) or campaign(s), to be used to purchase products from the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council’s Distribution Centre.

In addition, travel expenses to attend the annual Public and Fire Life Safety Educators Conference will be paid by the Council for a representative of the winning organization. Expenses covered are accommodations, meals, and mileage (restrictions may apply). Travel claims must be submitted.

Moyle Public Education Award Committee will review the applications, select finalists and choose the winning organization at the fall meeting of the Fall Executive Committee of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council’s Executive Board.
